News this week: UFI, the Global Association of
the Exhibition Industry, reported the attendance of more than 400 exhibition
industry leaders at the 80th
UFI Congress. The annual event is taking place from 13th to 16th
November at the Coex Convention
and Exhibition Center in Seoul.
Hosted by the Association
of Korea Exhibition Industry (AKEI), this year’s event is themed ‘Managing
for the future’, where industry CEOs and strategic thinkers have gathered to
network and discuss trends affecting the global exhibition industry. Apart from
the main conference, a number of smaller meetings were held including the
Annual UFI General Assembly, the UFI Board of Directors Meeting, UFI Regional
Chapter Meetings and a meeting of the UFI Associations’ Committee.
Chen Xianjin, president of UFI, commented, “We will be
exploring a variety of options exhibition organisations can apply in today’s
society which promise to develop stronger exhibition markets for organizers,
exhibitors and visitors tomorrow. While these are challenging times for our
face-to-face industry, they are exciting ones too as we develop creative ideas
and solutions for the future.”
